               ECOOP'91 Workshop on Object-Based 
                    Concurrent Computing

                     Geneva, Switzerland                    
                      July 15-16, 1991 

               CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
                        (NEW DEADLINE)


* Because the first CFP for the workshop, distributed in physical 
  and electronic mails, was late, we extend the deadline of
  extended abstracts/position papers to MAY 24, 1991.
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Another new information is that Professor Robin Milner will give
  a short lecture as an invited speaker for our workshop.

* Other than the above, the aim and organization etc. of the
  workshop are as before, which are restated as follows.


OBJECTIVE
The workshop is organized to provide a forum on concurrent,
distributed, and open-ended computing.  We put some emphasis on
conceptual, theoretical, or formal aspects, as well as practical
requirements and sound experiences, since we deem that such a
viewpoint is indispensable at this stage to investigate some
common agreed-upon theoretical bases for further development.

POSSIBLE SUBJECTS
The workshop will comprise lectures by invited speakers, workshop
presentations, and panels. Presentations will be made by those
whose papers are accepted, with which we plan to compile the
workshop proceedings. Possible subjects for submissions include
but are not limited to:
  Formal aspects: 
    general semantic frameworks, formal specification/
    verification methodologies, type theories, compositionality
    issues in open distributed systems, etc.
  Models:
    persistent objects, composite objects, objects in an open 
    distributed environment, transaction, etc.
  Language issues:
    design and implementation of concurrent and distributed languages, 
    reflection, inheritance, constraint, real-time, optimization, 
    programming environments, etc. 
  Practices: 
    distributed AI and distributed cooperative problem solving,
    object-based operating systems, databases,
    architectural issues, etc.
